I have no interest in gender or race or anything like that. But everyone else is kind of, with their calculating - is this the exact right mix? I think that's - to me it's anti-comedy. It's more about PC-nonsense.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Comedy can always be taken the wrong way. If I do a bit that is meant to diffuse racism or sexism, I'm not going to avoid it on the chance that a small portion of the audience might take it the wrong way.
I think the world of comedy is a relatively small community, and especially for women in comedy, there just aren't that many people involved.
I am not sure gender ever won't be an issue in comedy, because I think that women do have different priorities in some respects.
I definitely relate so much to a lot of women in comedy, but I don't love segregating the genders. I'm just as influenced by male comedians as I am female comedians.
I really don't take any interest at all in contemporary comedy.
I've never had prejudice against me because of being a woman in comedy, I've never felt any sort of unfairness because of that - but I do think it is naive to think that it doesn't exist.
We provide comedy for everybody, no matter what your race or gender. We just want people to come out and have a really good time.
I am a passionate believer that comedy is a way of tackling some of the most dark and difficult aspects of being a human being.
Comedy is a shared experience, and I think it's great to open that to a wide demographic.
I get that racism exists, but it's not a catalyst for my content. I don't need to talk about race to have material. My style of comedy is more self-deprecating. I think that makes me more relatable. When you deal with 'topics' - race, white versus black - you're not separating from the pack. You're doing what everybody else is doing.
